These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Confidence

Six major antivirus engines (alphaMountain.ai, Emsisoft, ESET, Fortinet, Kaspersky, LevelBlue) independently flagged this page as phishing. The domain itself is nearly 2.5 years old, which initially suggests legitimacy, but the page content is a bare technical bootstrap for an IPFS service worker — not a user-facing application or business. The absence of any contact email, phone, address, or social links is unusual even for a technical service. The page loads external domains (delegated-ipfs.dev, trustless-gateway.link) without clear explanation. The combination of phishing-engine consensus and the lack of any legitimate operational context raises the likelihood that this domain is being used to host or redirect to credential-harvesting or malware-distribution infrastructure.

Full dossier

Analysis complete

Page Content

The page title is 'IPFS Service Worker Gateway | HEAD@572bc4a' and the meta description describes a 'verifiable IPFS gateway in your browser.' The body text is minimal — essentially just the title repeated. No login form, countdown timer, or push-notification spam is present. No emails, phone numbers, addresses, or social links appear anywhere on the page.

Infrastructure

The domain is hosted on IP 209.94.90.2 (Cloudflare range), which has a clean abuse score (0/100) and no reported abuse history. SSL is valid (Let's Encrypt, 62 days to expiry). The domain uses Cloudflare as registrar with privacy protection disabled. No redirects or homoglyph tricks detected.

Domain History

The domain is 848 days old (approximately 2.3 years), suggesting it is not a fresh registration. However, the age alone does not establish legitimacy — the domain may have been dormant or repurposed. The page content gives no indication of ongoing business operation or legitimate service delivery.

Web Reputation

Six antivirus engines flagged the page as phishing: alphaMountain.ai, Emsisoft, ESET, Fortinet, Kaspersky, and LevelBlue. Browser blocklists are clean. Our sandbox did not flag it. The global traffic index shows the domain is not indexed, meaning it receives negligible public traffic.

Risk Factors

Six antivirus engines flagged the page as phishing, indicating consensus on malicious intent.
No contact information (email, phone, address, social links) — typical of phishing or data-harvesting infrastructure.
Minimal, technical-only page content with no user-facing service or business description.
External domains loaded (delegated-ipfs.dev, trustless-gateway.link) without clear functional purpose or transparency.
Domain not indexed in global traffic rankings, suggesting no legitimate public user base.
Page appears designed to bootstrap a gateway rather than serve end users — consistent with infrastructure abuse.

Positive Signals

Domain is 848 days old, not a fresh registration.
SSL certificate is valid and issued by a trusted CA (Let's Encrypt).
Hosting IP has clean abuse reputation (0/100 score, no abuse reports).
No browser blocklist hits.
No scam-family signatures detected in page content.

AI Recommendation

Do not enter any credentials, payment information, or personal data on this page. If you arrived here unexpectedly, close the tab immediately. If you need a legitimate IPFS gateway, use a well-known public service with clear business registration and support channels.
